Nevet Yitzhak, Israeli, born 1975.

In most of his video and sound works, Nevet Yitzhak uses archival materials as raw material for exploring cultural and political issues. "Great Rejoicing Tonight" (2011), for example, is a video installation that uses documentary material in Arabic about the Israel Broadcasting Authority Orchestra, creating an audio-visual collage that explores the documentation of cultural memory.
